Glenn Johnson, a man who was once on the list of the “10 worst repeat offenders” of the NYPD, was charged with allegedly, this time on suspicion of raping and trafficking a 14-year-old runaway minor he met at Penn Station, prosecutors in Manhattan denounced.
Johnson, 62, was accused of raping the teenager in a New York subway bathroom on March 9 and the next day take her to an alley where several men sexually assaulted her.
The minor had run away from home and taken an Amtrak train from an unspecified location to Penn Station when he encountered Johnson, who had 158 arrests since April 1983.
“He stayed with the girl constantly, giving her food and shelter, buying her lingerie, forcing her to watch pornography Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Marcella Lupski said during Johnson’s arraignment Thursday. She later “raped her in a subway bathroom.”
Johnson also allegedly forced the teen to perform oral sex on him, according to the indictment. And on March 10, she “took her to have sex in an alley with different men,” prosecutor Lupski charged. It appears that at least one of the men paid the suspect to rape the teen.
Johnson then drove the girl back to Penn Station and was “walking hand in hand” with her, when an Amtrak police officer recognized her on a missing persons poster, Lupski said.
Johnson, who already had a sex offender designation level two, reportedly left the scene, but was later arrested.
He pleaded “not guilty” to the charges of sex trafficking of a minor, rape and criminal sexual act. He faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the highest charge.
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Melissa Jackson ordered Johnson held without bail. Amtrak did not immediately respond to a request for comment, it said. New York Post.
